Syracuse, N.Y. — Syracuse defensive tackle John Raymon is out for the season after suffering a right knee injury in the first half of Saturday's loss at Georgia Tech.

Raymon was taken off the field on a stretcher after he appeared to have his right leg rolled on by a defender. He spent the night at Crouse Hospital in Syracuse for observation and will be scheduled for surgery in the coming weeks, according to a release by the Syracuse athletics department.

The 6-foot-5, 323-pounder recorded seven tackles, 1.5 sacks and blocked a kick this season.

Raymon was injured on a second-and-goal play in the final minutes of the first half.
